Liu Dongwei, vice director of the Copyright Administration, says that the tougher measure is being enforced after a recent legal case has been solved against infringement upon copyrights. Earlier, 10 film studios brought a suit against the Tiandu Copyright Agency, which had granted copyrights to dealers without permission of the owners. The prosecutors won the case and were compensated for.
